Originally used as an industrial yarn to create oil filters, now they are available as weavers', knitters' and artists' yarn!

The core is stainless steel and silk is wrapped around the core.

Because of the stainless steel, there is a memory in the yarn.

You can create something.

Twist it around! It will stay in that shape unless you straighten it out.It is easiest if you knit this yarn in 2 strands, however a lace stitch in a single strand is beautiful. If you work in 2 strands, you will see a variety in the fabric. Works fine as a warp yarn for weavers, but it is a bit tricky, so if you are just starting to use this yarn, go as a weft yarn first.

From what PMM gleaned in her reading, he travelled to South America and got super sick.

And then went to hospital.

Then came out.

Then got evensicker. He makes fully sick vids from his hospital room.

Like this Fashionista vid about a new label called 'Sicke'. He has an entire YouTube channel of his own. Because he is ridiculously funny and awesome. Fully sick. Fully talented. And fully cute. Once he's out of hospital someone better give this fully sick rapper a job. A good one too.

This blog's about a maximalist, renaissance womans' quest to re-fabulise fabularity from collected, scrounged, rescued, inherited, fossicked and acquired hordes that others regard as waste! A self taught mixed media artist, this late bloomer, includes quirkyness, frustrations and opinions to show life's too short to be precious or to take everything too darn seriously!
Making every post a winner, creating something out of 'nothing' and turning my excess creative stash into cash make my life bliss!
